Bridge and Belly Starting to Lift / Rotate ...Soundhole sinking
From what I have read and heard these are symptoms of lack of hydration at some time in guitar's lifespan.
The guitar I am speaking of has a saddle that has been filed down to compensate so the action / intonation is 100% spot on. So the problem is not impacting play today.
The longer term prognosis from local luthier is neck reset is imminent. Short term they recommend taking the strings off of tension and hydrating to try and cure the belly bulge and soundhole drop.
Does this make sense to everyone? I am a new owner of quality guitars so when one needs some TLC means I would like to confirm plan of action from several sources.
Thanks!
